Taiyin Chuanxi
Transmission of the Great Sounds 1		 太音傳習
1552 - 1561

(Note: This book was not available to Zha Fuxi when he was making his Guide, so he could not index the melodies there. All but 10 of them are in what seems to be a related volume, Taiyin Buyi (search for "not in TYBY"), but these are often different versions. For each melody below, if the melody is also in TYBY its number there is indicated in parentheses.)
